LSU leaders: State budget cuts could force widespread layoffs, fewer academic programs - Juan Sanchez, WDSU

Widespread layoffs and fewer academic programs could be in store for Louisiana State University campuses if deep state budget reductions go into effect. Earlier this week, LSU leaders from campuses across the state were asked to explain how the budge reductions proposed by Gov. Bobby Jindal would effect them. According to The Associated Press, the budget reductions would provide 35 to 40 percent less financing for LSU in the upcoming budget year. http://www.wdsu.com/news/local-news/new-orleans/lsu-leaders-state-budget-cuts-could-force-widespread-layoffs-fewer-academic-programs/31151790
